I agree with Jim bout learning the BrailleNote with very little effort. I had opportunity to thoroughly test a PacMate with the BT keyboard. I found the multi-layered commands very hard to remember from one time to the next and while I realize that the PacMate is a very sophisticated and powerful little critter, it just never floated my boat. All this is to say what we all keep saying: this is really, really an individual thing. Not only do different people have different needs when it comes to a portable device, but different people think differently, and what seems logical and intuitive to one may be completely Greek to the next. PacMate comes under that Greek category as far as I'm concerned.

I was able to feel very comfortable with it during a convention presentation. It really doesn't take much to accomplish a great deal with a BN, VN or PK. I think I could learn a competition product in time but it would take more time for me to do so. I agree! One eventually needs to find the patience to read any part of the manual. Feel free to write me privately about my next question if you wish, but am curious to find out when you hope to decide on which notetaker you will get? Was just wondering!
